General safety regulations and measures

• The owner and users of the plant / machine on which the safety relay is being used are
responsible for the implementation and observance of all applicable safety regulations and
rules.
• When used in conjunction with the higher-order control unit, the safety relay guarantees functional
safety but not the safety of the entire plant / machine. The safety of the entire plant / machine
must therefore be assessed before using the device.
• The operating instructions must always be available at the safety equipment's place of use.
They must be read thoroughly and observed by all persons involved in the operation, maintenance
and servicing of the safety equipment.
• The safety equipment must only be installed and commissioned by specialised personnel who
is familiar with these operating instructions and the relevant occupational health, safety and
accident prevention regulations. All of the instructions provided in these operating instructions
must be observed and adhered to.

external source it must be ensured that this is also turned off before commencing work on the
